Prayagraj, Jan 29: A tragic stampede-like situation at the Mahakumbh has led the Akharas to call off today’s Mauni Amavasya Amrit Snan.
More than 10 crore devotees were expected to take part in the holy dip at the Triveni Sangam on this significant day, but the chaos at the sacred site has left several people injured.
Mauni Amavasya, also known as Maghi Amavasya, is one of the most spiritually significant days of the Maha Kumbh.
Devotees flock to the Sangam to bathe in the waters, believed to be imbued with divine nectar (amrit) that descends from the heavens, making it a powerful moment for spiritual purification.
